This was my momās response to me getting an adhd diagnosis, and me explaining how my āhobby & friend hoppingā made a lot of sense to me now. Right before this I was saying how I grew up thinking I was lazy, and she agreed she just thought I was lazy.

This has been very relevant to me since being diagnosed late. My dad is very much like me. We check the same boxes in terms of adhd symptoms. Sometimes to a T, like we both independently got in the habit of solving sudoku while watching tv because weād either walk away or fall asleep otherwise lol
We have a good relationship now and the potential adhd context has really helped me forgive him for his angry outbursts and hurtful reactions to overstimulation.
My mom.. I always knew there was something up with her. Maybe adhd, but definitely also other stuff, sheās manipulative and imo takes advantage of people. Thatās not adhd. But thinking about how hurt I always was due to her being unreliable (e.g. forgetting to pick me up, always running late) through the lens of potential adhd has helped me heal.
Iām sorry OP, things like this are hard. If I were you, Iād try to work/think through these topics on your own. How did your adhd affect your familial dynamic? How about the potential neurodivergence of family members? Itās a touchy subject and getting a feel for it on you own is important.
Fwiw, I skipped a year in school, my sister (10y younger) was held back a year. We both did very well in terms of grades (we donāt talk about emotionally). We both still have adhd.
